We enjoyed our last time voting together (a tradition we had for years)as Aaron will vote with his wife near their new home. Nephew Garrett Bedford offered to drive a fellow student home for the holidays from BYU-Idaho to Orange County California. So he stopped by to see his Grandma Judy. It happened to be on a day when Rachel and I were there as well. What a nice surprise!
The Boys Choir's performance schedule is ridiculously busy this time of year. I LOVE every minute working with them and they shower me with hugs and interesting conversation every time I'm with them. 
Of course, a highlight of the holiday season is the family White Elephant Party. I ended up with a clock in a tuna can, and Jim got a lotion applicator brush. Hahaha!
With Ian on his mission, we opened gifts with him listening on the phone (you can see in the picture, mom holding the phone.) We even got to Skype him at the end of the day. The only thing I asked for was a Craftman Tote - I ended up with four of them! MERRY XMAS!
